About Us

We operate a Quality Control Laboratory for fresh and hardened concrete testing, serving the public and private sectors.

We offer services at a regional level attending concrete projects such as:

  • Foundation construction
  • Buildings construction
  • Rigid pavements construction

As well as projects where hydraulic concrete is used:

  • Compression
  • Flexion

We have C-1153-217/19 accreditation, valid since 2019/10/17 for the Mexican Accreditation Entity (EMA). Our services also include aggregate control.

Contamos con seis métodos acreditados:

Muestreo en el concreto fresco
Revenimiento
Elaboración y curado
Cabeceo
Resistencia a la comprensión de especímenes
Determinación masa específico y absorción
